Our first visit to Beachy since the Lammergeier last October and our first sea-watch since early March last year. Since then we have been virtually shielding and locked-in due to the dreaded Covid 19 virus. We sea-watched from 07.15 to 08.30, the sea-watch was quiet with virtually nothing moving. We then drove slowly along the road to the Old Trapping Area carefully stopping and checking the ploughed field, and we stopped briefly at the Old Trapping Area and saw RE who had a Chiffchaff singing.
Fulmar 3 local birds, Gannet 5, Brent Goose 1 E, Shelduck 1 E, Pheasant 1 female in ploughed field, Common Gull 5 E, Kittiwake 2 E, Meadow Pipit 3 in off the sea, Stonechat 1 male at Birling, Song Thrush 1 in song at B/T wood. Raven 1 at Birling.
